However, there was an incident when we first started dating that I haven't been able to forgive. A long-term female friend of his sent him a picture of her wearing sexy un- derwear. I found it on his email a few months later. When I confronted him, I could tell he had forgotten about it. He admitted it was wrong and apologized. I was hurt and all of a sudden I felt like I wasn't good enough for him. He told his friend not to send pictures and not talk to him inappropriately. As far as I know, things have been platonic since then. Two years later, we are extremely happy; we have moved to another city to- gether and are very much integrated into each other's lives. However, I still cannot get over what he did. Nothing like that has happened since, but every three to six months I get upset and bring it up. Now, the girl and her boyfriend are moving to our city. My boyfriend wants all four of us to hang out. I don't like or trust her, but they are old friends. Would it be wrong to ask him not to spend time alone with her right away? Do you have any suggestions on how I can put this behind me and forgive him? —WantingtoForgive DEAR WANTING » Why are you punishing your boyfriend? Did he ask his friend for this photo? Did he ask her for more? No. According to you, he asked her to stop and she did. You sign your letter "wanting to forgive." Well, if you want to for- give, then you SHOULD forgive. What's stopping you? You should be open to developing a friendship with this couple — and don't imagine or inflate problems until you have them. DEAR AMY » I met a really nice man about a month ago and we have been going out. We did not have our first kiss until our fifth date and we were both drunk when it happened. We spent almost the whole weekend together (no sex) this past week- end and it was a lot of fun. He sent roses to my office on Monday. However, I feel like a jerk because I am still not sure about this. He is a momma's boy, and that scares me. He tells his mother every- thing. While we were on our date, on our train ride home at 1 a.m., I fell asleep on his shoulder. He took a "selfie" of me, but did not tell me. He sent the picture to his mom and I found out from his mom (I have never met her) the next day. Should I be creeped out by this? — Broken DEAR BROKEN » It is defi- nitely NOT COOL to take a photo of someone who is sleeping and then share it without permission. This is a red flag. He should know better than to violate your privacy. I would push other res- ervations to the side and put this one at the front.
